Awesome. What do you think of the new report format?? Pretty nice I think. I wonder if GS is still aggregated under commercials, or if they're under the swap dealer title now?

Are you sure, b/c I heard that Chuck Norris just switched to Splenda.

Can't fight Maiden Lane.

It's about time gents...about damn time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Riw7j9b8fM8&feature=related Save yourselves some trouble and fast-forward to 3:43, unless you're a fan.

:D Weird part is the ownership of BLS. It's kept to look like a federal agency, when GE just purchased more of them to bump their stake up to a majority one in BLS. That's the part that seems hard to get a hold of. A publicly-traded US corp owning a piece of a federal agency?? I don't...

Call me a crazy one, but I swear that I read (within the last 5-6 months) that General Electric was a part owner of BLS. I cannot find any hint of that article now, but I swear that I read about it. That would explain the egregious "juicing" of the employment stats.

I think the Fed will not allow the dollar to plummet into oblivion. I bet there's a small, sybolic rate hike on it's way in the coming months. Maybe a .25 bp hike that wouldn't do alot of damage to the mkts, but would keep everyone guessing/expecting fed to tighten further at each FOMC meeting...

You're right. I've firmly believed that the hyperinflationist theory is irrelevant for the immediate future due to the offsetting effect of credit destruction that is outstripping the Fed's print rate. When credit starts flowing again and U-level mean reverts, we'll be paying $4 for a fucking...

Assuming a lump sum payment, $1billion/511Million shares outstanding = $1.96 per share (before taxes). Also, account for market upside jubilation which will be >$1.96.

If the goal is to have a stable currency that can't be purposely "trashed" like the buck, then gold and silver will be used to and extent to back it. Remember all the chatter about China taking large deliveries of gold from LME last month?? They're ahead of the pack. This really is...

Right, just not modern.

Hmmmm...Italy looks like it's the thin, porous membrane separating modern Europe from uni-browed, second-hand-Adidas-jumpsuit-wearing, goat milking Slavs. I'm sure there is a direct correlation with nationally-scheduled afternoon nap times and laziness, but what do I know...I'm the joke...

Italy and Spain, consequently, are two of the laziest countries in the EU. I wonder why both of their economies are at the top of the Euro Zone economic shit list? Ban futures?? What a joke.

This should continuously run as a public service announcement during all televised American sporting events from now until the end of time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTCKxye9_so&feature=related

Don't forget the Rho. Interest rates will be higher by this time next year, and that gives you a little somethin-somethin.

Reference the Taylor Rule.

No, this is where they all come in to. The mooches don't have a family doctor, so anytime they want to get treated, they head straight for the ER, b/c they know that (unlike a doctor's office) they won't be turned away. That's what I'm saying. Have a headache?? Go to the ER. Have herpes?? Go...

Hospitals cannot turn away patients that come to the ER, or they run the risk of not receiving state/fed funding. This is a law that keeps this kind of crap going on and on and on.

It'd be a great way to extend US military timelines in the middle east. US can't bring home 500,000+ vets during a period of 9.5% unemployment, it'd be a debacle. It would also help to give another shot in the arm to US manufacturing. Build a bomb, blow it up, build another...it's the order...

Nice post. It's been hard to buy these 6+ months of rally from an economic prosperity standpoint, but the breadth is undeniable. It's actually pretty indicative of many past bullish reversals over the 20th century. There's a massive up-thrust in breadth and R.O.C. that swings from negative...
